The people of South Carolina re-elected him already by a sizable margin, and they'll do it again and again and again and again, regardless of his actions.
In fact, taking the 5th would probably help him raise money, and even more people will vote for him.
But hey, you never know, perhaps a Miracle will happen.

But in some circles, South Carolina being one of them, that's not a bug, it's a feature. Still, taking the 5th is a bad look for a senator in some other, saner areas of the universe.
